They are at the extreme end of the spectrum when it comes to "weird parents" and I just found it unbelievable. Her parents are just as immature and ridiculous. The rest of the book honestly just contained a whiny, annoying, immature girl who argues with her parents every other chapter. In a way I liked it and in a way I didn't. There was a very surprising twist that I did not see coming. Daisy had some interesting character quirks and that made her unique. But alas, this book did not provide any of that. I figured after all the espionage-seriousness, I could do with some giggly high-school-girl fun. That's why I chose to read this after "Scorpia Rising". It was supposed to be funny and cute and make my day. I was expecting this to be a light, fluffy, romantic read. With a little luck and a lot of planning, Daisy plans to go to her prom with the perfect guy.and show her classmates just how cool she can be. Her parents are overly protective, she wears lame clothes, has never been on a date, and gets made fun of by all the cool kids.
Dysfunctional family style.ĭaisy Crispin is the school's biggest geek. Together, we have four children and now it’s our turn to confuse them. I am still Italian, fluffy and an aficionado of fine shoes & handbags. I graduated San Jose State University with a degree in Journalism & Mass Communications (emphasis in Advertising), gave my life to Jesus during college and found my true love in a Christian Singles’ Group, which yes, I skewer in “What a Girl Wants”. I picked up on this lifestyle much quicker. My afternoons at her house had no lessons, other than how to walk in her high heels, drape myself in her mink stole and drip myself with rhinestones. My Nana had very tiny feet and a penchant for shoes (she worked at the Emporium, no doubt to fund her shoe addiction).
My dad’s Italian family taught me about the good life. For my 40th birthday, my grandmother gave me a cookie gun, so it’s clear she hasn’t given up on me yet! That is eternal optimism! How to cook, clean, sew, budget accordingly – all the things a proper young girl should know to be a contributing member of society. My mother’s family, of strong Norwegian/German descent, tried to teach me how to do things right. I am a fourth-generation Californian, and an American mutt, but identify most strongly with my Italian heritage. I think I would have turned out normal if it weren’t for them. Oh heck, I’m going to blame them for everything.
And since I’m not smart enough to be a district attorney, I am a novelist. I grew up with a strong sense of justice.
